You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Start at the origin (where the the x and y axis intersect)

Now move your pencil 3 units to the right
We move 3 units in this direction since the x-coordinate is 3 (its the first number of the pair)





Plot a point where the pencil lands




So this is the point (3,0)
